Buddy's Bag Commission

Check this! My friend, Danny, just hired me to do an original design on his Chrome messenger bag. The bag, itself, is one hell of a piece. My drawing on it will start with a cityscape that goes clear across the leathery, yellow portion of the front flap. In the center, though, my design will rise up onto the brown, canvas part of the flap, as the sprawling cityscape transforms into larger than life robots with human faces... more of my Iron God characters.
